From a magnum. Surprisingly fresh with ample acidity and almost no bricking at the rim. Shared at my wine club and nobody thought it was 20 years old. A testament to the ageability of a well made Napa Cabernet. Dark fruits with cassis and just a hint of leather. A very well made wine.

Had this with tenderloin last evening. Delicious, balanced, still loads of fruit, graphite, leather. If you have these they are drinking well now.. Drink or hold.

Clean cork with no saturation. Color is still dark with no bricking. Blackberry and currant fruit, cigar and spice. Secondary character was going strong. Could go awhile longer but hard to top now.
